no
Can plaster cast help tenosynovitis?
Plaster casts are not typically used to treat tenosynovitis. Treatment for tenosynovitis usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with anti-inflammatory medications and sometimes physical therapy. In severe cases, a splint or brace may be recommended to immobilize the affected area.
Tenosynovitis most commonly affects the flexors of the forearm and wrist?
Yes
Which syndrome affects the wrist?
Possibly Dequervaines tenosynovitis
What is mild bicipital tenosynovitis?
fluid distending the long head of the biceps tendon sheath out of proportion to that in the glenohumeral joint.
I used to have tenosynovitis in your wrist you had steroids injected that were in the tendon for 3 months but it is still a bright red and the veins pop out is there any advice is it a serious danger?
Most likely no. If it is in pain you might want to see a doctor. If not the swelling is normal in patients with tenosynovitis, I mean that's what the name means for goodness sake!
What does the medical terminology combining form ten- mean?
Ten- means relating to tendons. So tenosynovitis is inflammation of the tendon and its sheath.
What are the prefixes defining tendons?
The prefixes defining tendons are "teno-" and "tendino-." These prefixes are used to refer to structures related to tendons, such as tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath) or tendinopathy (disease of the tendon).
What are the consequences of CFIs?
CFIs can, however, have serious consequences, including infection, cellulitis, inflammation of the bone or bone marrow (osteomyelitis ), septic arthritis, and inflammation of the sheaths covering the tendons of the hand (tenosynovitis

Regarding steroids for hand finger extensor tenosynovitis of the hands will further hard hard typing wear out other parts of the hands and fingers in other words are steroids like a temporary bandaid?
Yes. Corticosteroid shots are a very temporary bandaid. Even worse, they're not even a good band aid. Bandaids protect you while you heal. Corticosteroids, aside from their other side effects and potential dangers, take the pain away but do not positively affect the structural dynamic, and certainly not the activity patterns that got you the tenosynovitis in the first place. So you can continue to injure yourself even though you aren't feeling the pain you normally would be feeling...which is the body's way of getting you to stop hurting yourself. Yes, you could 'wear out' other parts of your hands and fingers. Corticosteroid injections will not prevent that. Same thing with corticosteroid creams and ointments, even if they decrease your pain. Do not take Oral Corticosteroids for tendonitis/tenosynovitis. For a longer description of corticosteroid shots, see the article at http://www.tendonitisexpert.com/corticosteroid-injections.html
Can stenosing tenosynovitis result in patients that have had carpal tunnel surgery?
Generally no, Stenosing tenosynovitis is also called Trigger finger. The Sheath around the tendon closes in or gets tighter around the tendon. Sometimes nodules forms on tendon and this can get caught on the sheath of the tendon causing a locking or triggering effect on the finger...Hence the name. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compressed causing numbness and tingling in certain fingers but NO triggering and carpal tunnel surgery releases the band that is causing the nerve to be compressed...so this would not effect the tendon sheaths in your fingers. Some people can get adhesions and scar tissue inside the carpal tunnel area after surgery and this can eventually cause the nerve to be effected or compressed again.
